Abstract
A display processing system 10 includes a portable phone 20, a conversion adaptor 40, a controller 50, and a television monitor 60. When the portable phone 20 is attached to the conversion adaptor 40 to be connected therewith and receives a display switching signal from the controller 50, the CPU 23 supplies image display data to a video memory 44 and supplies audio data to an audio buffer 46. Thereby, the television monitor 60 displays an image and a speaker of the television monitor 60 outputs audio. In this manner, it is possible to display, on a large screen of the television monitor 60, game images based on game data, and various kinds of characters and symbols such as news, weather report, fortune-telling, or the like, received from information providing servers by the portable terminal 20.
